A particle of mass m1 = 1.32 kg with an initial velocity v1 = 4.56 m/s has a completely inelastic collision with a second particle of mass m2 = 3.68 kg with an initial velocity v2 = 3.06 m/s. What is the velocity of the combined particles immediately after the collision? (Express your answer in vector form.)

Consider the collision of two identical particles. The masses of the two particles are therefore equal m1=m2. The initial velocity of particle 1 is v1 and particle two is initially at rest. After an elastic head on collision, the final velocity of particle two is is v'2 and is given by...
Suppose ⃗v1,⃗v2,⃗v3,⃗v4 ∈ R3. Let V = {⃗v1,⃗v2,⃗v3,⃗v4} and let X = [⃗v1|⃗v2|⃗v3|⃗v4] be the matrix...
Suppose ⃗v1,⃗v2,⃗v3,⃗v4 ∈ R3. Let V = {⃗v1,⃗v2,⃗v3,⃗v4} and let X = [⃗v1|⃗v2|⃗v3|⃗v4] be the matrix whose columns are ⃗v1,⃗v2,⃗v3,⃗v4. Suppose further that every subset Y ⊂ V of size two is linearly independent. Explain what form(s) rref(X), the reduced row echelon form of X, must take in this case. Hint: you won’t be able to pin down exact numbers for every entry of rref(X), but you might know things like whether the entry can be zero or not, etc.

Impacts! The relative velocity of an Asteroid impacting Earth depends on the direction it is approaching Earth’s orbit from. a. Earth’s escape velocity is ~11 km/s, the Earth orbits the sun at ~30 km/s, and an asteroid crossing Earth’s orbit would have about the same velocity of ~30 km/s. What are the minimum and maximum velocities of impact for an asteroid hitting Earth? b. Asteroid 1 with mass m1 hits Earth at a velocity of v1 = 50 km/s. Asteroid...
